Greenland Turbot 'Reinhardtius hippoglossoides' of the Eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Region

摘要

The report provides a comprehensive treatment of our knowledge of the Greenland turbot, Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, stock of the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands region (hereafter referred to as the Aleutians). It covers the history of harvest and management of this stock and describes the characteristics of the fisheries, such as nations and vessel types involved and the temporal and spatial patterns of harvest and of catch-per-unit-effort. The report also traces changes that have occurred in the abundance and composition of the stock as inferred from both fisheries and research vessel survey data. A hypothesis is proposed for the eastern Bering Sea-Aleutian stock which describes the possible temporal and spatial pathways by which young fish recruit to the adult population.
